Men who work for the Sörmland County Council in central Sweden should sit down rather than stand up when urinating in office toilets, according to a motion put forward by the local Left Party chapter.

The Left Party in Sörmland is taking a stand to ensure men take a seat when emptying their bladders in the county council's own toilets.

According to the party, there are two very important reasons for the proposal encouraging men to sit instead of stand when they urinate.

One reason has to do with hygiene and a desire to ensure that no one who uses the toilets at the county council's offices will be required to walk through puddles or residue left by stray urine which happens to splash out of the bowl and onto the floor when male employees pee standing up.

The Left Party also cites medical research it claims shows that men empty their bladders more efficiently when they are seated.

The improved bladder evacuation not only reduces the risk for prostate problems, according to the party, but also helps men who sit rather than stand achieve a longer and healthier sex life, the local Folket newspaper reported.

As a first step in its quest to get men to take a seat, the Left Party proposes labeling toilets which are designated for men who absolutely want to remain standing when they pee.

The Left Party's Viggo Hansen, a substitute member of the county council and the man responsible for the proposal, wants the office toilets to be genderless and as a result, is pushing for the "sit-down only" requirement.

He insisted, however, that the move doesn't represent political meddling in people's bathroom habits.

"That's not what we're doing. We want to give men the option of going into a clean toilet," he told Sveriges Television (SVT).

I can see them ban have urinals in a men’s room. But, assuming we have toilet privacy in a stall, how would anyone know if you sit or stand to do # 1? I guess we can assume all will sit to do #2, but again, how do you enforce something like this?

Wow, I didn’t know that I was peeing “wrong” all my life! Thank God for the Swedish Lefty parties for teaching me how to do it right! They obviously put a lot of thought into it. I’m glad they put so much time and energy solving such an important crisis! The nanny state at its best. I can’t wait for when they can teach me how to breathe!

Viggo Hansen is cordially invited to go piss up a rope. Sitting down, if he can handle it.

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Ib fact in Sweeden they have developed gender neutral terms instead of ‘he’ and ‘she’ and force small children to use it in kindergarden. They also developed fairy tales to indoctrinate children into gay agenda.

Well, you can’t write your name, which is one reason not to sit to pee. And, it’s a very good reason.
A while back I wrote a comment about a girlfriend who wanted me to pee sitting down. I was not amused, and, although she was hot, we went our separate ways shortly thereafter. I’m not saying that was the only issue; it was more what I perceived as an attempt to control me. Not gonna happen.
I pee wherever I want to, usually outside while looking at the stars. Seems natural to me.
Of course, in some cultures, women stand while urinating.
Message to governments, whether here or in Sweden or anywhere: LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE.
